This investigative inquiry looks into a series of assassinations of intellectuals which took place in Autumn 1998 in Tehran. The population was up in arms. One month later, for the first time, the Iranian Minister of Information and Security admitted its responsibility.
The film follows closely the difficult struggle by the victims' families to have those who executed and ordered these assassinations denounced.
The Military Tribunal of Tehran, tried and convicted behind closed doors a few agents of the Ministry of Information and Security. The victims' families boycotted the trial.
Today they continue their struggle to have those who are "truly responsible" charged and tried before an independent and competent tribunal of justice.
